It is not a tuner, it is a hard drive based media player that connects to Ai-net compatable receivers, such as Alpine, some Honda, and some BMW's. If you head unit is capable of controlling Ai-NET CD-changer, then you can use this. It mounts in place of the cubby under the single DIN radio. You can connect it to any head unit that has "Line in" or "Aux" inputs, but the head unit will not control the media player, you probably have to controll it from the media player.

I paid $260. I picked Scratched and dented (used/open box)
that takes $50 off then I used the $20 off. You cannot use the 10% off also though, I already tried it. And you do NOT need to call in to get the $20 off. You just put it in the referral box when checking out.

Cant wait to get this, Ill hook up to the pioneer p7300 that I bought for $100 and I will have 3000 songs at my disposal which cannot get scratched up in my car.

This Deal is Hot!

If you could add the 100GB laptop drive that there was deal on, then this would be a sweet receiver. However, no USB 2.0? I think I'll wait for one with USB 2.0.


Really, while USB 2.0 would certianly be nice, I don't think it makes or breaks a larger hard drive based car head unit like this one. Keep in mind that you really only fill the thing with music once, after which you will only probably be adding one or two albums at a time every now and then, which is a transfer that you can do in no time even at USB 1.1 speeds.

The only reason I bring this up is because I wouldn't want anyone to be discouraged from purchacing a hard drive based head unit for such a minor reason. Going from a cd player to a large hard drive based unit is like when you first went from cassette tapes to cds - it's amazing, and once you do it you can't imagine how you ever lived without it. I personally have an Empeg in my car with 120GB worth of hard drive (greatest head unit ever made, BTW) and I wouldn't give it up for anything.
